AU Policy Analyst Rob Boston to Speak in Santa Monica June 3

The Religious Right has recently seized an opportunity to impose their religious values and break down the Constitutional protection of separation
of Church and State by framing their argument as “Freedom of Religion”.

Americans United recognizes this effort as only the most
recent tactic to undermine the First Amendment and turn religious neutrality into religious privilege.

Rob Boston, AU’s Senior Policy Analyst, will review the background and precedent behind the RR’s claim, its likelihood to be upheld in US courts, and what it would mean for all Americans if it were upheld.

Rob Boston, Senior Policy Analyst and Assistant Director of
Communications for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, is
recognized as a leading writer and researcher on church-state topics and the
author of three books: Close Encounters with the Religious Right: Journeys into
the Twilight Zone of Religion and Politics (Prometheus Books, 2000); The Most
Dangerous Man in America? Pat Robertson and the Rise of the Christian Coalition
(Prometheus Books, 1996) and Why the Religious Right Is Wrong About Separation
of Church and State (Prometheus Books, 1993).
